Alright so I did a home workout last night and listed it as calisthenics vigorous effort, it was for 40 mins and it said I burned 440 calories. This morning I went to the gym and worked out for an hour and listed it as strength traing but it said I only burned roughly 220 calories. What is the deal with that. The vigorous calisthenics says push up and sit ups and I know my gym workout is harder than that. Now my question is should I list my gym workouts as the vigorous calisthenics?

    I wouldn't worry so much about it.
    If you have a HRM that might make things easier.
    I never tracked my excercise calories, and didn't have any trouble getting results.
    I found it easier to not worry about nitpicking every 100-200 calories.

    I wouldnt worry so much about the 100-200 calories either but that could be a protein shake to me so I could reach my protein goals. I just think there is a big gap between strength training and the calisthenics. The 440 calories were for only 40 mins not a whole hour, it would probably be 300+
